"There's just no accounting for happiness, or the way it turns up like a prodigal who comes back to the dust at your feet having squandered a fortune far away." (Jane Kenyon)

"Baby Boy Purves"


One-day-old

Well, we couldn't call him that forever, so Mark and I took over the nurses' white board and went to work. It was hard, grueling work, like trying to choose your favorite Haagen-Dazs flavor but with so much more at stake. In the end, I was still lost and undecided, so I had to rely on Mark's confidence and hope for the best.

The contenders:
Findlay James
Frank Anton
Dawson George

And the winner:
Declan Christopher

meaning: Full of Goodness
and Christopher is Mark's brother, whom we both adore and just happened to have a boy of his own the day after
